The junta needs India\u2019s support against powerful insurgents like the Arakan Army and is also wary of getting trapped with China. Further, all democratic forces in Myanmar are ready to side with India, viewing China as the junta\u2019s main sponsor.<\/p>\n<p>India should use this leverage and get the junta to halt its operations in the border regions this will control the flow of refugees into India.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source:\u00a0The post is based on the article \u201cJunta Connection &#8211; For Manipur, India must revisit its Myanmar policy\u201d published in The Times of India on\u00a027th May 2023 Syllabus: GS 2 &#8211; India and its neighbourhood relations and GS 3: Security issues \u2013 Internal Security.
